Also remember that weight affects the effectiveness of the pill. One study (Holt et al.) found that folks who are overweight are 60% more likely to experience a failure, while people who are obese are 70% more likely to experience a failure. In my experience most medical professionals don’t make this super clear. (And…

I didn’t like the Neutrogena Dry Touch either, but I love the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 face sunscreen. It’s tinted, somehow makes my face less oily, and doesn’t get in the way of my makeup. There’s no reason not to wear it, like you pointed out, so I wear it daily.

I call BS on any plant communicating well. I’m terrible with plants and I’ve drowned them and dehydrated them, steamed them and frozen them, killed them in pretty much every way I can. I still can’t tell the difference between brown leaves because it’s too dry vs brown leaves because it’s too wet and all the plant…

is Plos One reputable in zoology? It’s not reputable in my field and I believe it’s still pay to publish, so I’d maybe take its research with a grain of salt. 

Nothing but respect for that kid.

Songwriters need editors, yo. 

And yet there’s an ad post for Everlane on the site, which requires you to hand over your email address before you even look at their products.

That’s basically my retirement plan!

Except these things are related. A lot of folks are paying their student loans with money that would otherwise go toward a mortgage, or health care, or investments, or other things that would directly help ensure a stable retirement.

I worry we’re going to have a lot of folks in the upcoming years whose retirement plan is basically going to be suicide. After the student loan crisis, I think the retirement savings crisis is next on deck.

This. Case in point from high school: none of us studied for our SATs because we didn’t know you could, so our first basic attempt was the score we all ended up with. 

On the flip side, I’ve only been able to live in as many different places as I have because of GPS. My spatial skills/sense of direction have never been great and learning to navigate a new location with an atlas would’ve been something I only did once. Thanks to GPS, I don’t hesitate to move when an opportunity comes…

Yes! He talks so fast and he’s so slurry. Slow down and take a breath, my dude. You’ll be on tomorrow night again if there’s something you didn’t get to say today. 

Ugh, this. I grew up in the desert where the outdoors was trying to kill people on the regular. Also, I’m brown. I’m not going out into the woods for fun, are you crazy? I’m not trying to be the first one to die here.

Stay in the field and I guarantee you’ll find yourself working in an office where one of these lamps has lived since 1987!

Can confirm! That is indeed the Official Therapist Office Lamp™️. Usually comes in a set, because we’re broke and also terrible interior designers.

Huh. Rhode Island has a funky position of power/authority law that names specific professions not including teachers (health professional, or a minister, priest, rabbi or other member of a religious organization). Kids would likely be better served by a broader law that defines the category of position of…

Wow. This simultaneously makes perfect sense and no sense at all. (And thanks for being my Google. I just started watching the show and I thought I was supposed to know who these people are, but apparently not. That makes things easier.)

What was he doing before QE? Was he an actual chef or just a rando off the internet with opinions?

$100 for a dish rack? Great googly moogly!
